Leave 4-H Kids Alone, PETA
I think it is time for us 4-H supporters to locate and contact PETA supporters and let them know exactly how we feel.

This year at the Colorado State Fair, there were posters hung up by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) stating their definition of 4-H:
"hellish for animals,
hazardous to the environment,
heart attack-inducing and
hypocritical for teaching kids to care about only certain animals and to disregard others."
PETA was rejected to post the same posters and show a documentary at the Texas State Fair. Meanwhile, in Kansas, PETA was accepted as a vendor at the upcoming state fair in Hutchinson, where they plan to display the posters and show a graphic video. However, they are required to shield the video from those passing by the booth. Interested parties would have to request to view the video.
I think it is time for us 4-H supporters to locate and contact PETA supporters and let them know exactly how we feel.
